COOKING CLASS SOLVES HIGH COST OF LIVING
Event Commemorated by Prof E. H. S. Bailey in Poem Dedicated to H. E.
How to save "left-overs" and prepare foods economically will be demonstrated for the public some time next week, probably Friday, by the class in special problems of the de-
velopment of home economics. Cookies will be made from bread crumbs and other processes equally wonderful to the uninitiated.
Endeavors by the department to reduce the high cost of living have been commented upon in a poem by Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, head of the department of chemistry. Professor Bailey reduces the cost of a meal in a logical fashion through seven verses to the lowest common denominator:
A HOME ECONOMICS "TRY-OUT"
They cooked a meal at thirty cents,
Of protein, starch, and cheese,
Six courses fine you had from whence
Six courses fine you had from wh
To eat whatever you pleased.
A quarter ought to be enough For any studious men,
With sugar, cellulose, and stuff,
Five courses with baked hen.
They did so well and lived on that,
Try twenty cents a plate;
The family is "standing pat"—Four courses "while you wait."
But fifteen cents is better yet (the Cost of living's high); Some soup, your appetite to what, Three courses with meat pie.
A dinner good can sure be made Hygienic at a dime,
Hygienic at a dime,
With hash and gelatin to aid
Two courses, served on time.
One course is well within our means.
So choose the food with care.
Protein and starch you'll get from beans.—
Fine grains.
Five cents you sure can spare.
We'll not draw on yours.
We'll not go down another cent;
We'd rather leave the class.
Another out we know just meant
We rather leave the class.
Another cut we know just meant
Our eating hay and grass.

SPRING SCOURGE SWEeps K. U.
CAUSING MANY FATALITIES
A few cases of the dreaded epidemic of spring fever have been reported on Mt. Iulac. Although the cases are rare, there is great danger of the disease spreading, and the greatest precaution is being employed by the faculty in checking it. Past attempts to find a cure have been futile; but the professors are not discouraged.
P. W. Claassen of the department of ontology believes that he has found a possible preventive and cure which he is trying out on his morning classes. This morning he announced that the class which is deemed most worthy and makes the highest average will, near the close of term, be given a holiday and a treat at Brick's. Mr. Claassen is very optimistic over this cure and it is hoped that other instructors and professors will take immediate steps towards adopting this plan.

Purdue Seniors Operate Cars
As practical material for a thesis of a "Study of the Owl Car System," several Seniors of Purdue University have been operating trolley cars in the city of Indianapolis for the past three months. The experience includes a study of the average profit obtained on the line, the advisability of extending the system and adding more cars and men, the source of additional material, and the advisability of modifying the fare according to the length of the ride. The regulation of the fare was also considered in the light of the number of people the company carried and the risk that occurred in carrying that number, and their liability in case of accident.—Ex.

STUDENTS CAN ATTEND UNIVERSITY ON $340
"Yes, I think it's possible for a student to attend the University on $340 a year," said George O. Foster this morning. "I can't promise you how many movies and dances he can attend or how many pairs of $12 shoes, how many cut flowers or nut sundae he can buy, but he can pay for them." For dresses, clothes, and pay for necessary incidents on that amount.
But Cannot Buy Flowers. Ice Cream and Other Luxuries, Says Foster
Mr. Foster thinks that, although we don't notice any difference in the crowds at the movies or in the ice cream parlors, next year it will hardly be possible to get a dish of ice cream. It seems to him that the only logical or wise thing is for the government to control the food supply and apportion a certain amount to each one. "I hardly believe they are eating ice cream in Germany every day," he added.
"American women are a lot more foolish and extravagant than men. They are the slaves of fashion, and would rather be dead than not in style. Perhaps this war will be a less difficult experience for us to sense. I believe the Lord has sent it to teach the American people sainter and simpler living."
Let us figure on that next banquet.
As for board reaching $10 a week next year, Mr. Foster thinks that is out of the question. The present price inflation and speculation is momentary and unnecessary, and if it continues long the government will take matters into its own hands, and board the economy to prevent government to prevent starvation and famine. If this measure is not adopted, a University Commons may be established where food can be bought at reasonable prices, or else the boarding houses may be under the control of the University so that they are operated by an operative buying and feeding. A town market would be a very wise thing instead of the many small grocery stores keeping up the prices.
WALTER S. MARS Propristor and Manager.
"No, I don't think there is any cause for worry about the price of
board being beyond one's reach." Mr. Foster concluded: "But I do think we must give up our present-day luxurious and pampered tastes. When I was a boy we could sit down to a dish of mush and milk or apple dumplings, and that only. Yet we lived."
Japanese Bank Statement
Boomerang to K. U. Man
A letter recently received by Chancellor Frank Strong from Eli Davis of Spring Hill enclosed a queer Japanese bank statement which Mr. Davis asked to be referred to some Japanese student in the University of Chicago, and he referred to Shi-ichi Takaki, the orly Japanese student in the University.
Takaki recognized the statement as that of the first bank in Tokyo having a woman president and connected with an article that he had written about the story, “The look” magazine two years ago. Takaki was more than surprised that the identical matter be referred to him after he had made such a thorough study of the bank. He knows more than any other person in America.
The bank statement was discovered among some of the man. Davis' old papers and was found to differ much from the records of a day bank. It gave advice on ten different points to the patrons of the bank. It also gave instruction on industry, thrift, reflection, sympathy, charisma, self-esteem, morality, gratitude, and cheerfulness.
In a letter to Mr. Davis, Mrs. Krin Sino, president of the bank, expressed the hope that relations between the states and Japan would ever be the best.
